Logans recent video on "Kill Your Console: Build a $400 Gaming PC", was interesting. However many items I had looked at listed, were prices higher than preferred. So it got me thinking, what would be even cheaper and better for everyone. Well, this list however is $50 more, specs for the videocard benchmark in some cases 240%-400% more, the memory is $15 cheaper and I found a liquid CPU cooler for $30. Some may not like rebates, but for those who are ok with them, this is your list.
